At half past two in the afternoon, Li Guangyu, accompanied by He Zuozhi, went to the east of Kowloon, where the Taiping Garment Factory is located, which is also the location of the Xiangjiang Traditional Industrial Zone.

Today's Xiangjiang industry is mainly based on the textile industry and garment processing industry, and the clothing is mainly OEM for European and American brands, and there are few independent brands. The car slowly drove into the office area of the factory, and at this time, there were already several people waiting there in front of the office area.

After the car stopped, Li Guangyu got out of the car and looked, he knew the first two, the first one was Chen Dong, the general manager of the factory, who was 52 years old this year, and was an old man in the factory who had been working with the Li family for 21 years.

The second is Zhou Xiaoning, the financial manager of the factory, 40 years old this year, a middle school classmate of Li Guangyu's father, graduated from Xiangjiang University with a major in finance, and was recruited to take charge of the factory's finance after Li Guangyu's father entered the factory.

"Good chairman, good He Sheng!"

"Uncle Chen, let's go to the office first, you send someone to notify the middle-level and above management in the factory to have a meeting in the conference room in an hour, you let me know the situation in the factory first. ”

"Okay, Chairman. ”

Li Guangyu, He Zuozhi, and Chen Dong walked into the chairman's office. "Uncle Chen, you first introduce to me and my grandfather the current situation in the factory. ”

"Adong, I'm just going to accompany Guangyu to take a look today, you are also an old man who has been with the Li family for more than 20 years, and now Ah Cheng and Xiaoping are gone, now Xiaoyu is still young, I don't understand a lot of things, I am also old, it is impossible to keep looking at him, in the future, everything in the factory will be dominated by Xiaoyu, I hope you can help him." ”

"He Sheng, you are serious, if it weren't for Mr. Li who pulled me back from the line of life and death, where would I be today. I will do my best to assist the chairman to develop the garment factory well, which is the hard work of Mr. Li. ”

"Okay, Adong, you don't have to worry about me, I'm here today as an observer, and in the future, Xiaoyu will basically come, you tell him the basic situation of the factory first, at least let him know a little bit about the factory, so that he won't know anything about the factory." ”

"Chairman, now our factory has a total of 618 employees, including 453 production workers, 17 design departments, 52 management personnel, 8 security personnel, and the rest are administrative and logistics personnel. ”

"Uncle Chen, what is the current production situation in the factory?"

"Chairman, at present, our factory orders are all from the United States, which mainly undertakes orders from Ralph Lauren Group, and this year's production has been full. ”

More than 20 middle-level and above managers in the small conference room of the garment factory have all been put in place, and they are talking quietly with each other. After a while, the general manager walked in, and the conference room fell silent.

Li Guangyu and He Zuozhi walked in together, He Zuozhi found a place to sit in a corner, Li Guangyu understood that this was his grandfather's statement to the management of the factory, and the factory would be in charge from now on.

Li Guangyu walked to the chairman's seat and said: "Please sit down, the development of the garment factory is inseparable from your efforts, and here Guangyu thanks everyone for their contributions to the Li family." Due to the accident, Guangyu took over the burden of developing the Li family, I know that everyone who is more proficient in garment production than me, and I also hope that everyone can accompany me to work hard to develop the garment factory better. Before entering the conference room, the general manager had already given me a general description of the situation in the factory, and I would like to hear about the situation of each department. ”

Zhou Xiaoning stood up and said: "Hello chairman, I am responsible for the finance department, a total of 13 people, the current factory is financially good, the factory account funds are more than 17 million, all kinds of raw materials are more than 32 million in arrears, the finished products are sent to the United States at the end of the year can be received 85 million, and the factory is expected to make a profit of more than 26 million this year." ”

"Well, the factory this year is gratifying, I would like to thank you for your dedication, I hope you will successfully complete this year's production tasks in the next month or so, please introduce the next department. ”

"Hello chairman! I am Wang Peng, the manager of the raw material procurement department, and our department has mainly cooperated with Chen's textile factory since Mr. Li's textile factory, so our raw materials are basically purchased from Chen's Levy textile factory. ”

"Okay, let's move on. ”

"Hello chairman, I am Zhao Xiaoyan, the manager of the business department, because of the relationship between the former chairman, we signed a three-year OEM contract with Alf Lauren Group to expire in 1979, with the current production capacity of the factory for the time being, there is no need for new business. ”

"Okay, next. ”

"Hello chairman, I am Sun Jiaqi, the manager of the design department, because the design department is less than a month after the former chairman, and we have not yet made our own brand, so there is no finished product yet. ”

"Hello chairman, I am Yu Xiaoan, the manager of the production department, and we are currently completing the production of the order in the United States according to the order. ”

……

"Okay, I just listened to the introduction of various departments, and have a little understanding of the various departments in the factory, in general, there is no problem with the development of the factory in the short term, thanks to the foundation laid by the former chairman and you, it is your efforts, our factory should be in the next two years to ensure that the harvest and clothing are not worried. ”

"But are we satisfied? Are our departments stagnant? I would like to ask you to think about a few of the questions I have on my mind. ”

"The first is that our factory does not even have its own brand, the whole factory mainly relies on OEM, if one day the brand group we cooperate with does not cooperate, what will we do. ”

"The second is the issue of raw material procurement, we have been only cooperating with Chen's is too single, of course, I'm not saying that there is any problem with Chen's cooperation, whether we consider focusing on cooperating with Chen's to take out a small part to find another one or two cooperation, so that it can reduce the risk. ”

"Thirdly, due to the order from the Ralph Lauren Group, our factory capacity is basically saturated, can we expand the production capacity? I'll just think of these points for the time being, and I will share your comments and suggestions. ”

Chen Dong stood up and said: "Chairman, first of all, on the issue of private brand, the former chairman has already considered it and has begun to take action, the design department is set up for its own brand, but the follow-up has not been implemented. ”

"At present, there are still several problems to be solved for our own brand, first, which consumer groups are positioned for our first private label, second, we need to set up our own sales department, and third, how to promote the brand. ”

"As for the second and third problems of the chairman, we can solve them together, and add two more production lines on our current basis, so that our production capacity will increase by a quarter, and we will purchase part of the increased raw materials from other manufacturers. At the same time, this requires our business department to be able to find an OEM contract with a strong brand group in the next month or so, so it is not a problem to launch a new production line in January '78. ”

"Please rest assured that the business department will complete the task. Zhao Xiaoyan said.

"Okay, now the problem is mainly the problem of private labels, and everyone is talking about their opinions. ”

"Chairman, our design department has also designed some styles in the past month, but because there is no clear goal, so it is not satisfactory, at present, our brand value is high-end or popular, whether to take the youth route or take the fashion route, which needs to be determined by the chairman. ”

"Uncle Chen, what do you think?"

"Chairman, I think we can go to the middle and low end of youth, now that the economy of Xiangjiang is developing at a high speed, people's lives are becoming richer, and the purchasing power of young people is increasing, I think this should have our opportunity. ”

"What do you think?"

"I agree with the general manager. ”

"I agree. ”

……

"Since everyone thinks that the general manager's opinion is feasible, then the design department will focus on the middle and low grade of the youth route, hoping to complete the style design by the end of this year, and strive to be able to come up with samples after New Year's Day, and be able to produce and sell before the Spring Festival, there is no problem. ”

"No, the task is guaranteed. ”

"Alright, adjournment. ”

"Uncle Chen, you have notified the administrative recruitment of a sales manager and several salespeople. ”

"Okay, chairman, I'll arrange it right away. ”

In the He family's study, He Zuozhi and Li Guangyu sat opposite each other. "Guangyu, how do you feel today? ”

"Grandpa, the development of the factory is not bad, and my father has left me a good foundation. ”

"Xiaoyu, your father's ability is still good, it's a pity, you have to rely on your own efforts now. There is also the Chen family's affairs, you are less involved, your grandfather and the head of the Chen family have a good relationship with each other in the early days of entrepreneurship, and your father and the boss of the Chen family have a bad relationship, so your raw materials have always been purchased from the Chen family textile factory, but you are different, especially now the Chen family's next generation of the head of the family is competing for the position, you must have a certain degree of defense. Adong is in charge of the factory, you can still rest assured, your grandfather has a life-saving grace for him, and he doesn't dare to have any ideas about what family is behind you. ”

"Got it, Grandpa. ”

"Okay, I won't nag anymore, if you're fine, come and see me, an old man, and you can go on your own. ”

"I'll come and ask my grandfather for advice often, I'll go back first, goodbye. ”
